Overview

The Cockapoo is highly intelligent, retaining much of that from the Poodle breed, and becoming very popular as a companion animal. A sturdy little dog, they have a great disposition. This breed can also be somewhat passive and can also be dog aggressive if not given the proper socialization.

Character

The Cockapoo is loyal, intelligent, and very affectionate. This dog is fairly easy to train being mixed with what is said to be one of the smartest dogs in the world. Being that this dog is mixed with the Poodle, he makes a wonderful training student. Having a very sweet nature, this dog is sure to steal the hearts of many.

Temperament

This breed is eager to please, vigorous, and friendly, making him a popular choice as a companion. The Cockapoo generally gets along with children and other animals, but should always be supervised. The Poodle and Spaniel in this mix can both have aggression problems if not dealt with at a young age.

Care

The Cockapoo should be brushed and combed regularly. It is said that this breed is little to no shedding, however when being brushed hair does come out making shedding even less common. Clipping is required at least once a year.

Coat

The Cockapoo is a mixed breed without a breed standard, however the preferred coat is dense, curly or heavily wavy, and close. The Cockapoo should carry coat characteristics from both the Poodle and the Cocker Spaniel.

Training

The Cockapoo is a very intelligent dog, making training a breeze at times. This dog does well in obedience, and with the right training techniques and proper handling this dog will thrive. This dog requires firm handling, but can be somewhat sensitive to the tone of your voice so training should be consistent and relatively firm yet gentle.

Activity

The Cockapoo is a happy-go-lucky dog that loves to run and play with his family. No yard is fine, but this dog does require daily walks. They also have the tendency to overeat so exercise is needed for this dog to stay healthy.

Ownership

Help reduce the number of Cockapoo puppies in shelters by doing your due diligence. Many puppies are often purchased with little or no knowledge of what goes into parenting one. Uneducated decisions often leave the puppy in need of adoption and in the care of rescue groups. Bringing home a puppy into your family has many benefits but we first implore you to educate yourself. An informed decision will take into account the characteristics of the breed, your lifestyle, expected veterinary care, the demands and limitations of owning one, their activity requirements and levels of companionship required.

Our 6 yr old cockapoo was not eating well and when we finally took her to the vet after a month or so--she had acute kidney failure--is this common with cockpoos?? What causes this?? We were not too concerned because she was so young.

Anytime a dog does ANYTHING out of the norm you need to take your dog to the vet as soon as possible. I'm sorry to hear about your dogs medical problems -- I hope you caught them in time. Cocker Spaniels are known for kidney issues, so that is where it most likely came from.3/16/2015 12:46:10 PM

My Cockapoo was 6 when they discovered acute Kidney failure. She was a wonderful member of our family. She past way right after her seventh birthday. 3/29/2015 2:44:59 PM

The Cockapoo is of average intelligence which means that they are fairly easy to house-train. But remember, every dog is different. Using positive reinforcement training at all times will help you house-train your puppy much faster.7/15/2014 10:03:44 AM

There are three sizes of cockapoo. How can I find the largest of this breed? If you know of some website that can help me, please pass them on.

The size of the puppy will depend on the size of the dam and sire. You are looking for a Standard Poodle/American Cocker Spaniel puppy. The only way to find one is to look online for puppies that are already available. This 'breed' is considered a mix breed, hybrid or designer dog, it is not a true breed of dog and so it will be difficult to find what you are looking for specifically.7/10/2014 9:31:33 AM

The poodle is 2nd smartest animal so they are easy to train. Dont need much walking but DO need to be with people as they are a people dog. Would not do well at home alone all day. Do wonderful with children. If you get under 20lb less poop and pee to clean up after while still tall for that weight. 8/8/2013 2:16:04 AM

My family is considering either a shihpoo or cockapoo puppy. What are the pros and cons of both? 3 of the 4 of us leave at around 8 am weekdays (2 back at 4ish, 1 back at 7ish). What is the comparison of both breeds? Hyperactivity level? Regular maintenance (grooming, training, etc.)? Training ability? Anything else important about both?

Puppies in general are a TON of work. A puppy can not be alone for that long. It is not feasible for your puppy and not fair either. An adult dog is most likely what you are looking for, as they are better apt to stay home alone for so long. Both breeds need an average of 1 - 2 hours of exercise a day. They need daily grooming and monthly groomer visits. Training is average for both breeds, they need positive reinforcement training and consistency.7/10/2014 9:36:48 AM

This description of the Cockapoo is just not accurate. I have two females and they have been quick to learn, want to please, are very affectionate and they often stay alone for hours without complaint. Having two does give them companionship. They do bark at everyone , anything included blowing leaves, which is their entertainment. They have their door to come inside whenever they choose so potty training was not a big issue.2/18/2015 7:41:20 PM

You might not be taking her/him out to 'go' soon enough. Never leave her/him unattended(most commonly when accidents happen) for longer than a few minutes. If you catch her/him in the act, clap loudly and then quickly bring her/him outside to do his/her business. Praise him/her with treats or petting when she/he does it where you tell her/he to. -vet2b3/15/2013 6:39:14 PM

As long as she can smell, she can find her way to anything or anyone. Even if she goes deaf, she will be content with just her nose. Be patient. She probably has a good 3 years left in her. Maybe more.12/30/2013 5:14:37 PM

Take a look at dogswell food or some food that gets a five star. dogsfoodadvice.com also as a puppy feed two/three times a day as much as they want to eat then when toilet trained leave the food out all the time. If they get a weight problem change the food not the amount it is better to let them eat when they want to. Please dont feed table food. Can go to my website it has info on food and feeding etc.. 8/8/2013 2:25:51 AM

My sisters 2 yr. old cockapoo has dry eye, common for breed? She took her 10lb girl to my vet that did a dye test on her eyes and gave her 2 meds, one an ointment. Do you think by chance this is related to her food, as so many have been having issues and changing ingredients?

This breed wants to be near you always. They don't care to cuddle, but they will find a place by your feet or the curve of your lower body. They will tolerate some huggin' and lovin', but they've had enough real soon.12/30/2013 5:27:07 PM

I rescued my little guy in July and we cautiously introduced him to a friend's bunny and was shocked to see how docile and gentle he was with him! So cute! On the other hand, my mom' will chase wild ones around the yard--he is crazed over them, but I think he only wants to play with them. If you introduce your dog to a bunny, keep him on a tight leash at first and have someone close by to jump in if the dog gets the rabbit in his mouth. 1/14/2013 12:58:55 AM

On the rare occasion she doesnt pee I praise her over the top. She peed in the car the otherday when I was gone from her site for 3 min. May be a separation thing. We cant keep her and have to bathe her every lunch hour. We tried different kennels, treats ect. Help

Besides our cockapoo we also have a whippet-mix that had the same problem. We were told that dogs instinctually will NOT pee where they sleep and if they are peeing it is involuntary. Our dog was put on phenylpropanolamine and it worked wonders!10/5/2012 4:10:09 PM
